Naruto: The Primal Hyuga Pierces the Shinobi World

Using his recommendation privileges, Hiashi's first move was to make Shinichi a special Jonin.

While that Uchiha kid was still wasting his time at the Ninja Academy, the Hyuga clan made their son a Special Jonin. In terms of reputation, they were already "far ahead"!

Of course, Hiashi also valued Shinichi's own thoughts. When he said these words, he was actually discussing with Shinichi to see what Shinichi's opinions and thoughts were on this matter.

"Recommend me to become a Special Jonin?"

"Is this really possible?"

"Come to think of it, I'm not even a genin, am I?"

"And does becoming a ninja and carrying out missions for the village mean I won't have much time to train?"

Shinichi wasn't particularly opposed to becoming a Special Jonin; his only concern was that it would reduce his training time.

As a ninja, he naturally understood the importance of accumulating combat experience, but at the same time, Shinichi did not feel that he needed to improve his strength in this way at this stage.

He still has a lot to learn, and at this age, he is still growing, so the benefits of exercise are undoubtedly huge. There is no need to rush.

Unlike Japan, he doesn't actually have such a strong competitive spirit.

He simply wants to take things one step at a time and steadily move forward.

"Hmm... Shinichi, you underestimate yourself a bit."

"Or rather, you underestimated the power of the Flying Thunder God Technique!"

"Special Jonin are different from regular Jonin. To become a special Jonin, one must possess a special skill that is difficult for others to match."

"With your mastery of the Flying Thunder God Technique and the Byakugan, and with my recommendation, becoming a Special Jonin is a certainty!"

"Even if you're not even a genin right now, it doesn't matter."

"Once you become a special Jonin, you don't really need to worry too much about missions taking up your training time."

"Our Hyuga main family will not go to the battlefield unless absolutely necessary. Unless it is voluntary, no one can force you to do a mission you don't want to do."

"The reason I made you a special Jonin is so that when a suitable mission comes up in the village, you can be naturally assigned to it."

"Of course, I will discuss and weigh the difficulty of the mission with you, ensuring your safety while also giving you a certain amount of challenge."

"The primary purpose is to test you."

Hiashi Hyuga had a wonderful idea: Shinichi, with his special Jonin status, was qualified to participate in all missions in the village, from E-rank to S-rank.

Hiashi Hyuga plans to select suitable missions for Shinichi to undergo trials based on his strength and experience at different times.

Being born into the Hyuga main family also gives them this right to choose, and if necessary, they can even refuse the Hokage's assignment.

For ordinary ninjas, every mission is a test of life and death. Even during wartime, many missions are certain death for ordinary ninjas.

However, for the Hyuga main family, Konoha's mission system is just a testing ground. They go there to hone their skills and gain experience when the risks are low, and avoid those with high risks.

This can actually be seen from the fact that Team 8, led by Kurenai in the future, almost never had any high-risk missions with Hinata Hyuga in it, even though Hinata had been abandoned by Hiashi Hyuga at that time.

Even the person in charge of the shift, Ren Hong, was able to fall in love and get pregnant.

This is completely different from Kakashi, who spent several months in the hospital after going on a few missions, and also vastly different from Asuma, who died on the front lines.

Later, when Hinata and Naruto went on a mission together to track down Sasuke, it was already a large-scale group operation. However, at that time, Hinata even needed someone to remind her to use her Byakugan, which shows how lacking she was in combat experience. This is a drawback caused by being overprotected.

Shinichi listened carefully to Hiashi Hyuga's explanation, and after a brief moment of thought, he nodded silently.

If becoming a special Jonin doesn't mean he'll waste his training time by being forced to take on missions by Konoha, then that's not unacceptable.

If there are suitable missions for him to practice on and opportunities to fight against different people, Shinichi would naturally be willing to accept them.

"Thank you father."

"Please take care of recommending me to become a special Jonin."

Shinichi bowed slightly to Hiashi Hyuga, showing utmost respect in front of so many clansmen.

"What are you talking about?"

"That's because you're good enough!"

Hiashi chuckled and patted Shinichi on the head.

After the Hyuga clan members had rested, Shinichi used the Flying Thunder God Technique to bring everyone back to the clan's territory.

After arriving home, Rizu gave a few instructions to his clansmen and then dismissed them.

That night, Shinichi was able to sleep peacefully after returning home, but the calamity brought by the Nine-Tails still affected many villagers.

Konoha Hospital was also overcrowded, and it's unknown how many families were unable to get a good night's sleep.

Chapter 45 After the Chaos, the Uchiha's Predicament!

A powerful ninja only needs to flap his wings slightly, and it will be an insurmountable catastrophe for ordinary people.

Upon waking up in the morning, Shinichi, who was being led to the Hokage Building by Hiashi Hyuga, passed through a street that had been damaged by the disaster the previous night.

A somber atmosphere permeated the air; the usual hustle and bustle had vanished, and in some corners of the street, dried, dark red blood clots could still be seen.

Some shops along the street have put up signs saying "Closed". The shopkeepers who used to greet Hyuga Hiashi warmly now look tired and numb, and their lifeless eyes are heartbreaking to see.

"..."

Shinichi Hyuga could clearly feel a desolate atmosphere enveloping him. On the way to the Hokage Building with Hiashi, Shinichi Hyuga kept his head slightly lowered and remained silent the whole way.

"What you see today is nothing compared to what happened a few years ago."

"The world of ninjas is just that cruel."

"That is why families exist, and villages exist."

"Shinichi, only when you become strong enough, only when your family is strong enough, only when your village is strong enough, can you protect those you truly care about."

"Strive to become stronger for Hyuga's sake, Shinichi."

Seemingly sensing Shinichi's emotions, after crossing the disaster-stricken streets, Hiashi Hyuga stopped and looked back at the street they had already traversed. At the same time, he gently stroked Shinichi's head, seemingly trying to soothe Shinichi's emotions in this way.

"I understand, Father."

Shinichi nodded silently. He was already aware of the cruelty of the ninja world, but when this cruelty was truly laid out before him, it still touched his heart.

Hiashi nodded silently, and then the father and son walked towards the Hokage Building without saying another word.

...

The village was just hit by the Nine-Tailed Fox's rampage last night, and now it is in a time of great turmoil.

After settling his wife and children, the Fourth Hokage returned to his post and immediately assigned ninjas to carry out disaster relief and rescue missions.

By this time, the evacuation and rescue work of the public had been basically completed, and the damage reports from various units had been successively submitted to the Fourth Generation Resident.

When Hiashi Hyuga brought Shinichi to the Hokage's office, Minato Namikaze and Hiruzen Sarutobi were meeting with Fugaku Uchiha.

Also present were Konoha's advisors F3, Koharu Utatane, Homura Mitokado, and Danzo Shimura. Naturally, they were also concerned about the chaos that had occurred the previous night and arrived at the office early to question the Fourth Hokage.

Not only the advisors of Konoha, but all the prominent ninjas in Konoha were summoned to this office.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's eldest son, who was the captain of the ANBU, the Jonin squad leader from the Nara clan, and many other figures were all present.

Minato Namikaze already knew the enemy's specific situation and had shared the intelligence with Hiruzen Sarutobi.

However, with such a major incident occurring in Konoha, and the tailed beast causing such severe consequences in the village, someone must be held responsible.

And this person, without a doubt, is from the Uchiha clan!

“Obito Uchiha is a member of your Uchiha clan, so this traitor is to be hunted down by your Uchiha clan!”

"Fugaku, you are the head of your clan. After what happened, you should understand why I stopped your clan from joining the battle last night!"

Inside the office, Danzo's voice drowned out everyone else's as he loudly questioned Uchiha Fugaku.

The two of them seemed to have met during yesterday's chaos. It appears that Danzo and his Root did not have time to join the battle against the Nine-Tails last night, but instead had the opportunity to restrain and supervise the Uchiha clan.

"Tuk-tuk-"

The knocking of the guard ninja broke the tense atmosphere inside. With Minato's permission, the door opened, and Hyuga Hiashi led Shinichi into the office.

After bowing to the two Hokage, Hiashi didn't rush to explain his purpose. Instead, he led Shinichi aside, clearly indicating that he had no intention of competing with Fugaku for the "protagonist" position.

Everyone present silently glanced at Hiashi as he entered the office, and then their attention returned to Fugaku Uchiha.

The Sharingan in the eyes of the Nine-Tails, which wreaked havoc in Konoha, completely changed the perception of the Uchiha clan among all the ninjas in Konoha.

The grudges and feuds between Madara Uchiha and the First Hokage, Hashirama, are too distant now, and even today, ninjas know very little about the power of the Uchiha clan.

Even in the eyes of many young ninjas, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, is the true "God of Shinobi," the strongest ninja since the founding of Konoha, and they do not have a clear understanding of the strong ninjas of that time.

However, after the chaos of last night, they realized that the Uchiha clan possessed the power to control the tailed beasts.

This point, which was initially "knew about it," became a reality presented to everyone, causing them to fear the power of the Uchiha while also becoming wary of the Uchiha clan.

Well... everyone's on the same level. Although you Uchiha are a bit stronger, your strength is still limited.

But now that the Uchiha clan has suddenly gained the ability to "flip the table," how should other clans interact with them?!

This is where the problem arises.

While questioning Fugaku, Danzo was also secretly considering how to eliminate the Uchiha threat.
